You should all be excited for its future and be more determined than ever to work diligently to take the company to the next level.”
* TNA talent received their paychecks that were due last week, this week.
Opinionated View- Here the thing Dixie has always been able to keep this company running. She's done it once again. I know a lot of people have sided with Corgan but for all we known Athem didn't want to deal with him. Or maybe's Billy's plan was to have TNA go dark after the December Show at the Hardy Compound and return down the line. Also the key is Corgan is saying I haven't been paid and this lawsuit still out there. So Corgan could still wind up in charge. And maybe Corgan running TNA would be for the better given the issues over the years. All I know is I want TNA to keep running. I want TNA to keep putting on great shows.
